TABLE OF CONTENTS​
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING
General
In this proxy statement, we refer to Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. as the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us.” This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) of proxies to be voted at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “2019 Annual Meeting”), which will be held at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Daylight Time, on Monday, June 17, 2019 at 1668 S. Garfield Avenue, 3rd Floor (Ballroom), Alhambra, California 91801, or at adjournments or postponements thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Notice”). This proxy statement and the proxy card are first being mailed or made available to stockholders on or about April 30, 2019. In addition, stockholders may obtain additional copies of our 2018 Annual Report to Stockholders and this proxy statement, without charge, by writing to us at our principal executive offices at 1668 S. Garfield Avenue, 2nd Floor, Alhambra, California 91801, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or from our website at http://irdirect.net/AMEH/sec_filings. Our Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2018, which incorporates our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 18, 2019 without exhibits, is being provided or made available to stockholders concurrently with this proxy statement. The Annual Report is not to be regarded as proxy soliciting material or as a communication by means of which any solicitation of proxies is to be made.
Outstanding Securities and Quorum
The close of business on April 24, 2019 was the record date (the “Record Date”) for stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the 2019 Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, we had 35,768,076 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding, according to the records maintained by our transfer agent. All of the shares of our common stock, issued and outstanding on the Record Date, and only those shares (collectively, the “Voting Shares”), are entitled to vote on each of the proposals to be voted upon at the 2019 Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, 1,111,111 shares of our Series A preferred stock and 555,555 shares of our Series B preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, are held by Network Medical Management, Inc. (“NMM”). As a result of a reverse merger between the Company and NMM completed in December 2017, NMM became and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, such shares held by NMM shall neither be entitled to vote, nor be counted for quorum purposes, at the 2019 Annual Meeting.
The presence of the holders of a majority of the Voting Shares, in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the 2019 Annual Meeting, including voting on each proposal to be voted on at the meeting. Broker non-votes and abstentions by stockholders from voting will be counted towards determining whether or not a quorum is present at the 2019 Annual Meeting, as the Voting Shares so held are entitled to vote at the meeting but do not count as affirmative or negative votes cast.
Voting Procedures
Holders of Voting Shares will have one vote for each such share with regard to each matter to be voted upon.
A broker non-vote occurs when shares held by a broker or other nominee are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker or nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote on the matter and has not received voting instructions from beneficial owners. If an executed proxy is returned, indicating that the broker or nominee holding shares in street name does not have discretionary authority as to the shares with respect to a proposal, such shares will be considered present at the 2019 Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum on all matters, but will not be considered to be votes cast. Similarly, abstentions by stockholders from voting and broker non-votes will be counted towards determining whether or not a quorum is present. If your broker holds your shares in its name and you do not instruct your broker how to vote, your broker will only have discretion to vote your shares on “routine” matters. Where a proposal is not “routine,” a broker who has not received instructions from beneficial owners does not have discretion to vote uninstructed shares on that proposal. At the 2019 Annual Meeting, only
1

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Proposal 3 (the Ratification of the Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm) is considered a routine matter. Proposal 1 (the Election of Directors) and Proposal 2 (Vote, on an Advisory Basis, on Named Executive Officer Compensation) are considered “non-routine,” and your broker will not have discretion to vote on these proposals in the absence of your voting instructions.

​ | Proposal 1: Elect Our Directors | ​ | ​ | The directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the Voting Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the 2019 Annual Meeting, meaning that the nominees receiving the highest numbers of  “FOR” votes up to the number of directors to be elected, will be elected. Because our Series A and Series B preferred stock is held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours and thus is not entitled to vote, only shares of our common stock, issued and outstanding as of the Record Date, are entitled to vote on this proposal. In voting with regard to Proposal 1 to elect directors, you may vote either FOR all the nominees, WITHHOLD your vote from all the nominees, or WITHHOLD your vote from any one or more specific nominees. Votes that are withheld and broker non-votes will not be included in the vote tally for the election of the directors, and therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors. | ​
​ | Proposal 2: Vote, on an Advisory Basis, on Named Executive Officer Compensation | ​ | ​ | In voting with regard to the advisory vote on named executive officer compensation, stockholders may vote in favor of such proposal or against such proposal or may abstain from voting. The vote required to approve Proposal 2 is the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy at the 2019 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Because our Series A and Series B preferred stock is held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours and thus is not entitled to vote, only shares of our common stock, issued and outstanding as of the Record Date, are entitled to vote on this proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes “against” the proposal. Brokers do not have discretionary authority to vote on this proposal. Broker non-votes, therefore, will have no effect on the proposal as brokers are not entitled to vote on such proposals in the absence of voting instructions from the beneficial owner. | ​
​ | Proposal 3: Ratify the Appointment of Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm | ​ | ​ | In voting with regard to the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm, stockholders may vote in favor of such proposal or against such proposal or may abstain from voting. The vote required to approve Proposal 3 is the affirmative vote of the shares present or represented by proxy at the 2019 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Because our Series A and Series B preferred stock is held by a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours and thus is not entitled to vote, only shares of our common stock, issued and outstanding as of the Record Date, are entitled to vote on this proposal. Abstentions, if any, will have no effect on the result of this vote. Brokerage firms and other nominees have the authority to vote uninstructed shares held by them in street name on this proposal. Any broker non-votes, if brokers or nominees do not exercise this authority, will have no effect on the result of this vote. We are not required to obtain the approval of stockholders to appoint our independent registered public accounting firm. However, if our stockholders do not ratify the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee of the Board will reconsider its appointment. | ​

TABLE OF CONTENTS
All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the 2019 Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, withheld votes, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any.
Voting Methods
If you are a record holder, you can vote by attending the 2019 Annual Meeting and voting in person, or you can vote by proxy in three ways:
•
By Internet: You may vote by submitting a proxy over the Internet. Please refer to the proxy card or voting instruction form provided or made available to you by your broker for instructions of how to vote by Internet.
​
•
By Telephone: Stockholders located in the United States that receive proxy materials by mail may vote by submitting a proxy by telephone by calling the toll-free telephone number on the proxy card or voting instruction form provided or made available to you and following the instructions.
​
•
By Mail: If you received proxy materials by mail, you can vote by submitting a proxy by mail by marking, dating, signing and returning the accompanying proxy card.
​
•
In Person at the 2019 Annual Meeting: If you attend the 2019 Annual Meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person or you may vote by completing a ballot, which we will provide to you at the meeting. You are encouraged to vote by telephone or Internet or complete, date, sign and return the proxy card provided or made available to you, regardless of whether or not you plan to attend the 2019 Annual Meeting.
​
With respect to your shares held in “street name,” meaning such shares are held for your account by a broker or other nominee, you will receive instructions from such institution or person on how to vote your shares.
Voting by Proxy and Revocability
Voting Shares represented by proxies submitted over the Internet or by telephone, or for which proxy cards are properly executed and returned to us, will be voted at the 2019 Annual Meeting in accordance with the stockholders’ instructions contained therein. In the absence of contrary instructions, shares represented by such proxies will be voted FOR the election of each of the director nominees named on Proposal 1, FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers on Proposal 2, and FOR the ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm on Proposal 3. Management does not know of any matters to be presented at the 2019 Annual Meeting other than those set forth in this proxy statement and the accompanying notice of 2019 Annual Meeting. If other matters should properly come before the meeting, the proxy holders intend to vote all proxies received by them on such matters in accordance with their best judgment. Any stockholder has the right to revoke his, her or its proxy at any time before it is voted at the 2019 Annual Meeting by giving written notice to our Corporate Secretary, and by executing and delivering to the Corporate Secretary a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date, or by appearing at the meeting and voting in person. A beneficial owner of our stock may revoke or change voting instructions by contacting the bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee holding the shares in street names or by obtaining a legal proxy from such institution and voting in person at the meeting.
Householding of Proxy Materials
Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of our proxy statement and annual report to stockholders may have been sent to multiple stockholders in your household. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement in the future, or if you and other shareholders sharing your address are receiving multiple copies

TABLE OF CONTENTS
of the proxy materials and you would like to receive only a single copy of such materials in the future, please notify your broker. You may also call (866) 540-7095 or write to: Householding Department, Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717, and include your name, the name of your broker or other nominee, and your account number(s). If you share an address with another shareholder and have received only one set of this year’s proxy materials and you wish to receive a separate copy, please notify us in writing to Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. at 1668 S. Garfield Avenue, 2nd Floor, Alhambra, California 91801, Attention: Corporate Secretary and we will deliver a separate copy to you promptly.
Internet Availability of Proxy Materials
We are furnishing proxy materials for the 2019 Annual Meeting to all of our stockholders via the Internet by mailing a notice of Internet availability of proxy materials, instead of mailing or e-mailing copies of those materials to all stockholders (while we may still mail copies of such proxy materials to some stockholders). The notice directs such stockholders to a website where they can access our proxy materials, including our proxy statement and our annual report, and view instructions on how to vote via the Internet, mobile device, or by telephone. If you received such a notice of Internet availability of proxy materials and would prefer to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the notice. If you have previously elected to receive our proxy materials via e-mail, you will continue to receive access to those materials electronically unless you elect otherwise.
Attending the Annual Meeting
Only our stockholders as of the Record Date are entitled to attend the 2019 Annual Meeting. If you own our stock as a record holder, your name will be on a list of record holders and you will be able to gain entry with government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s license, state-issued identification card, or passport. If you beneficially own our stock held in street name, in order to gain entry, you must present a valid legal proxy from a record holder of our stock as of the Record Date and government-issued photo identification. You should contact your brokerage account representative, bank or other nominee to learn how to obtain a legal proxy. All stockholders and proxy holders must register at the reception desk and complete the attendance sheet before entering the room for the 2019 Annual Meeting. In fairness to all attendees and in the interest of an orderly and constructive meeting, we ask that you abide by the rules of procedure for the 2019 Annual Meeting, which will be available to you when you register at the reception desk. Cameras, recording devices, and other electronic devices are prohibited at the meeting.
Stockholder List
A list of our stockholders of record as of the Record Date entitled to vote at the 2019 Annual Meeting will be available for examination by any such stockholder for any purpose germane to the 2019 Annual Meeting during ordinary business hours at our corporate headquarters located at 1668 S. Garfield Avenue, Alhambra, CA 91801, for a period of ten days prior to the 2019 Annual Meeting, and also at the 2019 Annual Meeting.
Persons Making the Solicitation
We are required by law to convene annual meetings of stockholders at which our directors are elected. The Board is soliciting proxies from our stockholders for the 2019 Annual Meeting. The entire cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. These costs will include, among other items, the expense of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing the proxy materials or notices of Internet availability to our stockholders of record and beneficial owners. Proxies will be solicited principally through the use of the mails, but, if deemed desirable, may be solicited personally or by telephone or letters by our officers and regular employees for no additional compensation. We may also solicit proxies by email from stockholders who are our employees or who previously requested to receive proxy materials electronically. Arrangements may be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxies and proxy materials or notices of Internet availability to beneficial owners of our stock and obtain their voting instructions, and such persons may be reimbursed for their expenses.

Number of Directors and Director Terms
As currently in effect as of the date of this proxy statement, the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that unless otherwise required by the law or by the resolution of the Board, the authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed from time to time by the Board; and the Company’s Restated Bylaws, as amended, provide that the authorized number of directors shall be fixed from time to time by the Board, provided that the authorized number of directors shall not be less than one.
The Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Restated Bylaws, as amended, also provide that all directors elected at or after the 2018 annual meeting to serve a term of one-year. The Company’s directors were previously elected to serve a three-year term. Therefore, Li Yu, the sole director who was elected or appointed to the Board prior to the 2018 Annual Meeting and whose three-year term has not expired, is not a nominee for election at the 2019 Annual Meeting and will continue to serve the remainder of his term until the Company’s 2020 annual meeting. Beginning with the Company’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, the entire Board will stand for election annually. All our directors elected by our stockholders at each annual meeting of stockholders or appointed by the Board to fill its vacancies will serve until their successors are elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal.
Board Nomination and Election of Directors
Following a rigorous reviewing process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended the nine incumbent directors for re-election at the 2019 Annual Meeting as they continue to contribute to the mix of experience, skills and qualifications that we seek to be represented on the Board.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Each nominee has been nominated by the Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Unless authority to vote for this nominee is withheld, the shares represented by the enclosed proxy will be voted FOR the election as directors of the nine nominees.
In the event that a nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a director at the time of the 2019 Annual Meeting, all proxies received by the proxy holders named on the accompanying proxy card will be voted FOR the election of such other person as either proxy holder may designate in such nominee’s place. In the event that additional persons are nominated for election as directors, the proxy holders intend to vote all proxies received by them for each of the nominees listed below, unless instructions are given to the contrary. As of the date of this proxy statement, the Board is not aware of any nominee who is unable or unwilling to serve as a director. If elected at the 2019 Annual Meeting, a director will serve until the annual meeting of our stockholders to be held in 2020 or until a successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal. As of the date of this proxy statement, we are not aware of any relationships by blood, marriage, or adoption, not more remote than first cousin, among any of our current directors, the nominees for directors and our executive officers.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Code of Ethics and Other Governance Documents
We maintain a corporate governance page on our website at http://irdirect.net/AMEH/​corporate_governance, which includes information regarding the company’s corporate governance practices. Our Code of Ethics for Directors, Executive Officers and Other Employees (which, among others, covers our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, if any, or persons performing similar functions), Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy, Audit Committee Policy Regarding Complaint Procedures for Accounting and Auditing Matters, Related Party Transaction Policy, charters of the three standing committees of the Board and Insider Trading Policy are available on that page of our website, in addition to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Restated Bylaws, as amended. Any changes to these documents and any waivers granted with respect to our Code of Ethics will be posted on our website. In addition, we will provide a copy of any of these documents without charge to any stockholder upon written request made to Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. at 1668 S. Garfield Avenue, 2nd Floor, Alhambra, California 91801, Attention: Corporate Secretary. The information on our website is not, and shall not be deemed to be, a part of this proxy statement or incorporated by reference into this or any other filing we make with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Director Independence
As of the date of this proxy statement, the Board has determined that a majority of its current members and of its director nominees for election at the 2019 Annual Meeting meet the independence requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), as currently in effect. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director or nominee concerning his background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, the Board has affirmatively determined that Mitchell W. Kitayama, David G. Schmidt, Michael F. Eng, Mark Fawcett, Li Yu, Ernest A. Bates, M.D., and John Chiang would qualify as “independent” as defined in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2). In making such determinations, the Board considered all relevant facts and circumstances, including commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships, not merely from the standpoint of a director or nominee, but also from that of persons or organizations affiliated with the director or nominee.
Subject to some exceptions, NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of the Board, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and that a director cannot be an “independent” director if  (a) the director is, or in the past three years has been, an employee of ours; (b) a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, an executive officer of ours; (c) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family has received more than $120,000 per year in direct compensation from us within the preceding three years, other than for service as a director or benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan or non-discretionary compensation (or, for a family member, as a non-executive employee); (d) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is a current partner of our independent public accounting firm, or has worked for such firm in any capacity on our audit at any time during the past three years; (e) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, employed as an executive officer of a company where one of our executive officers serves on the compensation committee; or (f) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is an executive officer, partner or controlling stockholder of a company that makes payments to, or receives payments from, us in an amount which, in any twelve-month period during our past three fiscal years, exceeds the greater of 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year or $200,000 (except for payments arising solely from investments in our securities or payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs). With respect to any relationship not covered above, the determination of whether the relationship is material, and therefore whether a director would be independent, will be made by those directors who satisfy the independence criteria set forth above.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
The Board also makes such independence determinations with respect to its committees after taking into account the additional independence standards for members of each such committee, as applicable, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and NASDAQ listing rules as currently in effect. In order to be considered an independent member of an audit committee under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, a committee member may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the Board, or any other committee of the Board, accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the applicable company or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise be an affiliated person of the applicable company or any of its subsidiaries. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director who is currently serving on a committee of the Board concerning his background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, the Board has affirmatively determined that each of its three standing committees consists solely of  “independent” directors who meet NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) and all other applicable independence standards.
Meetings of the Board
The Board held seventeen meetings and acted by written consent once during 2018. Each of our incumbent directors attended 75% or more of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and the committees on which such director served in 2018. We attempt to schedule each annual meeting of our stockholders at a time and date to accommodate attendance by directors, taking into account the directors’ schedules. Directors are encouraged to attend our annual meetings of stockholders, but the Board has not adopted a formal policy with respect to such attendance. Each of our incumbent directors attended our 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, while serving on the Board.
Our independent directors meet periodically in executive session without management present, generally at least twice a year or more frequently, in conjunction with regularly scheduled board meetings, to discuss our operations, policies and practices, as well as other matters relating to us or the functioning of the Board.
Board Leadership
The roles of Chairman of the Board and our Chief Executive Officer have been separated. Currently, Dr. Sim serves as our Executive Chairman and Dr. Lam serves as our Chief Executive Officer. Our Board committees consist solely of independent directors. In addition, the Board has designated Mr. Kitayama as our lead independent director on the Board. We believe that our current leadership structure is appropriate under current circumstances, because it allows management to make the operating decisions necessary to manage the business, while helping to keep a measure of independence between the oversight function of the Board and operating decisions. We believe that this has provided an appropriate balance of operational focus, flexibility and oversight.
Risk Oversight Function of the Board
The Board has allocated responsibilities for overseeing risk associated with the Company’s business among the Board as a whole and the committees of the Board. In performing its risk oversight function, the Board is responsible for overseeing management’s development and execution of appropriate business strategies to mitigate the risk that such strategies will fail to generate long-term value for the Company and its stockholders or that such strategies will motivate management to take excessive risks. The Board periodically reviews information regarding the Company’s financial, operational and strategic risks. Each of the three committees of the Board is responsible for overseeing the management of risks that fall within the committee’s areas of responsibility, including identifying, quantifying and assisting management in mitigating risks. In performing this function, each committee has full access to management, as well as the ability to engage advisors. As set forth in its charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for managing the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control those exposures. In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for addressing risks associated with related party transactions and concerns and complaints related to accounting and auditing matters. The Audit Committee provides regular updates to the entire Board. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the risk management related to the Company’s compensation plans and arrangements. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee manages risks associated with the independence of the Board and overall effectiveness of the organization of the Board.

Committees of the Board
The Board has a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The composition, functions and responsibilities of each committee are summarized below.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which is available on our website. The Audit Committee currently consists of Messrs. Eng (chairman), Schmidt and Chiang. The Board has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee is an audit committee financial expert, as that term is defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act. The Board has determined that all members of the Audit Committee qualify as “independent” directors within the meaning of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and as defined under NASDAQ listing rules, as currently in effect and applicable to members of audit committees. As required by the Audit Committee charter, no Audit Committee member currently serves on audit committees of more than two other public companies. The Audit Committee met five times and acted by written consent four times during 2018.
The Audit Committee’s duties include monitoring and ensuring the integrity of our financial statements, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the qualifications and independence of our independent auditors, and the performance of our internal audit function and external auditors; preparing the report required to be prepared by the Audit Committee under the rules of the SEC for inclusion in our proxy statement; and overseeing our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our financial results. In addition, the Audit Committee has responsibility for reviewing complaints about, and investigating allegations of, financial impropriety or misconduct. The Audit Committee is also responsible for engaging our independent registered public accounting firm and pre-approving audit and non-audit services performed by the firm in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair their independence. To these ends, the Audit Committee has adopted an Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy and an Audit Committee Policy Regarding Complaint Procedures for Accounting and Auditing Matters, which are available on our website. Please also see “Report of Audit Committee” below.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which is available on our website. The Compensation Committee currently consists of Messrs. Kitayama (chairman), Fawcett and Chiang. The Board has determined that all members of the Compensation Committee qualify as “independent” directors as defined under NASDAQ rules, as a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3(b)(3) under the Exchange Act and as an “outside director” as defined in Treasury Regulation 26 CFR §1.162-27, implementing Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and currently in effect. No member of the Compensation Committee was at any time during 2018 an officer or employee of the Company. The Compensation Committee met once and acted by written consent one time during 2018.
The Compensation Committee establishes the compensation and benefits of our executive officers and make recommendations to the Board regarding director compensation including for membership on any committee of the Board. The Compensation Committee also administers our compensation plans including equity incentive plans.
In establishing executive and director compensation, the Compensation Committee seeks to provide compensation that is competitive in light of current market conditions and industry practices. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee will generally review market data from peer companies and information from nationally recognized published surveys, adjusted for size. The Compensation Committee then considers other factors, such as each executive officer’s individual expertise, experience, and performance, retention concerns and relevant compensation trends in the marketplace, in making its final compensation determinations. The Compensation Committee has the authority to directly retain the services of independent consultants and other experts to assist in fulfilling its responsibilities. While members of our human resources and finance departments support the Compensation Committee in its work, our executive officers in general are not involved in determining the amount or form of executive and director compensation but may from time to time make recommendations and provide feedback to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews the performance of each executive officer in light of the above factors and determines whether the executive officer should receive any increase in base salary, annual bonus award or receive a discretionary equity award based on such evaluation.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which is available on our website. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of Messrs. Kitayama (chairman), Schmidt and Dr. Bates. All members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meet the independence requirements of NASDAQ, as currently in effect. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee acted by written consent once during 2018. The principal ongoing functions of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee include developing criteria for selecting new directors, establishing and monitoring procedures for the receipt and consideration of director candidates recommended by management, stockholders and others, considering and examining director candidates, recommending director nominations to the Board, developing corporate governance principles for the Company, overseeing the Company’s compliance with those principles, and establishing, monitoring procedures for the receipt of stockholder communications directed to the Board, and periodically evaluating the Board to determine whether the Board and its committees are functioning effectively.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has the responsibility to identify appropriate candidates to serve as directors of the Company, and interviews candidates and makes recommendations to the Board regarding director nominations. In considering candidates to serve as directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates them against one or more of the following qualifications: personal integrity, sound judgment, business and professional skills and experience, industry knowledge, financial acumen as well as the extent to which the candidate would fill a present need on the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers additional factors including the current composition of the Board, the current strategy and future outlook of the Company, the range of experience and skills that would best complement those already represented on the Board and the need for specialized expertise. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has not adopted a formal diversity

TABLE OF CONTENTS
policy regarding its selection of candidates or consideration of nominations but will consider issues of diversity in identifying and recommending director nominees to the Board, and strive where appropriate to achieve a balance of backgrounds and perspectives on the Board and its committees.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers potential candidates recommended by stockholders, directors, officers, advisors, third-party search firms or other appropriate sources. In selecting candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into account all factors it deems relevant, such as a candidate’s knowledge, experience, background, independence, possible conflicts of interest and concerns for the long-term interests of our stockholders. Persons recommended by stockholders are generally considered on the same basis as candidates from other sources. If a stockholder wishes to propose a director candidate for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the stockholder must follow the procedures and comply with the requirements described in “Stockholder Proposals” at the end of this proxy statement.
In recommending to the Board the nine director nominees for election at the 2019 Annual Meeting, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered the foregoing factors and each nominee’s previous service on the Board, which provides continuity and institutional knowledge in its deliberations. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considered specific qualifications, attributes and skills that each nominee possesses and contributes to the Board as identified in Proposal 1 under the respective nominee’s biography.

PROPOSAL 2
ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION FOR 2019
We are asking stockholders to approve an advisory resolution on the compensation of our NEOs as reported in this proxy statement, commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay” vote. Although the say-on-pay vote is advisory and therefore non-binding on us, the Board and the Compensation Committee will review and consider the voting results when making future decisions regarding our executive compensation program. As described above in the “Executive and Director Compensation” section of this proxy statement, the Compensation Committee has structured our executive compensation program to achieve the following key objectives:
•
Attract and retain highly qualified and productive executives.
​
•
Motivate executives to enhance our overall performance and profitability through the successful execution of the Company’s short-term and long-term business strategies, with an emphasis on the long-term.
​
•
Align the long-term interests of our executives and stockholders through ownership of the Company’s common stock by executives and by rewarding stockholder value creation.
​
•
Ensure that compensation opportunities are competitive.
​
We encourage stockholders to read the “Executive and Director Compensation” section of this proxy statement, which provides an overview of our executive compensation policies and procedures. The Summary Compensation Table and other related compensation tables and narrative provide detailed information on the compensation of our NEOs. The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that the policies and procedures articulated in the “Executive and Director Compensation” section of this proxy statement are effective in achieving our goals and that the compensation of the NEOs reported in this proxy statement has contributed to our success.
In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act and as a matter of good corporate governance, we are asking stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the 2019 Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in the Executive and Director Compensation section of this proxy statement and the Summary Compensation Table and the related compensation tables, notes and narrative in this proxy statement.”
As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding on our company, our Board, or our Compensation Committee. The outcome of this advisory vote does not overrule any decision by us or our Board (or any committee thereof), create or imply any change to the fiduciary duties of the company or our Board (or any committee thereof), or create or imply any additional fiduciary duties for the company or our Board (or any committee thereof). However, our Compensation Committee and Board value the opinions to be expressed by our stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

Pursuant to instructions to Item 403 of Regulation S-K, all shares of our Series A preferred stock and all shares of our Series B preferred stock, which are currently held by NMM, are excluded from our outstanding securities. Therefore, only one class of our equity securities, our common stock, is outstanding as of April 24, 2019. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the tables below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws. The information provided in the following table is based on our records, information filed with the SEC, and information provided to us by the applicable beneficial owner, except where otherwise noted. Unless otherwise noted below, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. at 1668 S. Garfield Avenue, 2nd Floor, Alhambra, CA 91801.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
During 2018, other than the compensation arrangements discussed under “Executive and Director Compensation” above, there has not been, nor is there currently proposed, any transaction to which the Company is or was a party and in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of  $120,000 and 1% of the average of the Company’s total assets at the applicable year-end, and in which any of the Company’s current directors, executive officers, holders of more than 5% of any class of its voting securities, or any respective child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law of, or person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of, such director, director nominee, executive officer or security holder, had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest; except for the following:
NMM, the Company’s principal wholly-owned subsidiary, has entered into a management service agreement with Allied Physicians of California IPA d.b.a. Allied Pacific of California IPA (“APC”) pursuant to which NMM was paid $44.5 million and $37.4 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively. Dr. Lam, our Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board, has been APC’s Chief Executive Officer since January 2006 and has been APC’s Chief Financial Officer since October 2014. Dr. Sim, the Executive Chairman of the Board, is also the Chairman of the board of directors of APC. Drs. Lam and Sim also are minority shareholders of APC. As a result of the Merger on December 8, 2017 between NMM and the Company, Dr. Lam, Dr. Sim and the other shareholders of APC currently own a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. APC also currently directly owns approximately 4.89% of the Company’s common stock. APC is a variable interest entity of NMM and has been reported in the Company’s statement of income for 2018 and 2017 on a consolidated basis, together with the Company’s subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Company does not separately disclose transactions between APC and the Company’s subsidiaries as related party transactions.
APC-LSMA is a designated shareholder professional corporation solely owned by Dr. Thomas Lam (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) and controlled by APC. For financial statement purposes, APC-LSMA is consolidated by APC and, therefore, with the Company. APC-LSMA owns 25% of the IPA business of LaSalle Medical Associates. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, pursuant to the management services agreement between NMM and LaSalle Medical Associates, NMM earned approximately $21.6 million and $17.6 million, respectively, in management fees.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, APC-LSMA owns 40% of Pacific Medical Imaging and Oncology Center, Inc. (“PMIOC”). Under an Ancillary Service Contract between APC and PMIOC, PMIOC provides covered services on behalf of APC. APC paid PMIOC fees of  $2.5 million and $2.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
NMM has a credit facility with Preferred Bank to borrow up to $20.0 million that matures on June 22, 2020. The credit facility was amended on September 1, 2018 to temporarily increase the loan availability from $20.0 million to $27.0 million for the period from September 1, 2018 through January 31, 2019, further extended to October 31, 2019, pursuant to an amendment entered into on March 5, 2019 to facilitate the issuance of an additional standby letter of credit for the benefit of CMS. NMM also has a non-revolving line of credit facility with Preferred Bank, which provides for loan availability of up to $20.0 million with a maturity date of September 5, 2019. NMM’s credit facility was amended on April 17, 2019 to decrease the availability from $20.0 million to $16.0 million. APC also has a credit facility with Preferred Bank to borrow up to $10.0 million that matures on June 22, 2020. APC’s credit facility was amended on April 17, 2019 to increase the availability from $10.0 million to $40.0 million. Mr. Yu, one of the Company’s director, founded Preferred Bank, has been its Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of its board of directors. The Company believes that the loan was made in the ordinary course of business of Preferred Bank, was made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with other persons, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.
NMM rents its principal offices from Medical Property Partners, an entity in which Dr. Sim, Dr. Lam and Dr. Young each own a minority interest. In 2018 and 2017, NMM paid approximately $1.0 million to Medical Property Partners under its office lease for the facilities. NMM currently rents these facilities on a month-to-month basis.

In 2018 and 2017, APC paid approximately $3.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively, to AMG, Inc. for services provided to APC. Drs. Lam and Sim each own a minority interest in AMG, Inc.
Ms. Marsh is the Senior Executive Vice President at AHMC Healthcare. The Company and its affiliates (including Allied Physicians of California) work closely with one or more of the AHMC Healthcare hospitals in coordinating care for their respective patients. Ms. Marsh is the co-CEO of NMM and APC, both of which are ceremonial positions in which she has no ability to exercise control or influence over NMM, APC or the management of either of those entities. An entity affiliated with Ms. Marsh receives compensation in the amount of  $25,000 per month (which is jointly paid by NMM and AP) for services provided to NMM and AP. An entity affiliated with Ms. Marsh previously purchased a convertible note issued by the Company (which convertible note was subsequently converted into shares of the Company), and as a result of such conversion, such entity is currently a shareholder of the Company.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, officers and holders of more than 10% of a class of our equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act to file reports on a timely basis on the initiation of their status as a reporting person and any changes with respect to their beneficial ownership of such equity securities with the SEC. SEC regulations require such reporting persons to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports and amendments thereto that they file. Based solely on the Company’s review of copies of such forms received by it and written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that all such SEC filing requirements were timely met, except that one Form 4 was filed late for each of Drs. Sim, Lam and Young and one Form 3 was filed late for each of Dr. Bates and Mr. Chin.

Stockholder proposals for nominating director candidates must be accompanied by a written consent of the proposed nominee to be named as a director. These proposals must comply with the requirements as to form and substance established by the SEC for such proposals to be included in the Company’s proxy statement.
