2020 Equity Incentive Plan
Profits Interests
TCO Group Holdings, L.P. (the “LP”), the Company’s largest shareholder and prior to the IPO, the Company’s parent, maintains the TCO Group Holdings, L.P. Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Equity Incentive Plan”) pursuant to which interests in the LP in the form of Class B Units (profits interests) may be granted to employees, directors, consultants, advisers, and other services providers (including partners) of the LP or any of its affiliates, including the Company. A maximum number of 16,162,177 Class B Units are authorized for grant under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. Both performance-based and time-based units were issued under the plan. As of June 30, 2025, a total of 15,872,837 profits interests units have been granted under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan.
The Company used the Monte Carlo option model to determine the fair value of the granted profits interests units at the time of the grant. Expected stock price volatility is based on consideration of indications observed from several publicly traded peer companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of the unit. The dividend yield percentage is zero because the Company neither currently pays dividends nor intends to do so during the expected term. The expected term of the units represents the time the units are expected to be outstanding. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, a total of 2,213,700 Class B Units were awarded to the Company's
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Legal Officer. The assumptions under the Monte Carlo model related to the profits interests units for fiscal year 2024, presented on a weighted-average basis, are provided below:

2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan
In March 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the InnovAge Holding Corp. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan”), pursuant to which various stock-based awards may be granted to
employees, directors, consultants, and advisers. The total number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized under the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan is 14,700,000. The Company has issued time-based restricted stock units under this plan to its employees which generally vest over a three-year period with one-third vesting on each anniversary of the date of grant. Certain other vesting periods have also been used. The grant date fair value of restricted stock units with time-based vesting is based on the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. Certain other awards, including units and stock options under this plan vest upon achieving specific share price performance criteria and are determined to have performance-based vesting conditions. The Company has also issued time-based vesting stock options under this plan to its employees which generally vest in equal parts over a three-year period.

About Stock Compensation Disclosures

Stock-based compensation disclosures detail the equity awards granted to employees and executives — including stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), and performance shares — along with the valuation methods and assumptions used to expense them. This section reveals the true cost of talent retention and the alignment between management incentives and shareholder interests.

Key signals: total unrecognized compensation expense and its expected recognition period signal future earnings headwinds from already-granted awards. For stock options, examine Black-Scholes assumptions — expected volatility, risk-free rate, and expected term — as understating any of these reduces reported compensation expense. Compare stock compensation expense as a percentage of revenue against peers to assess dilution cost. Watch vesting schedules for acceleration clauses tied to change-of-control events. Performance-based awards with undemanding targets may indicate weak governance. Add back stock compensation to operating cash flow to calculate a more conservative free cash flow figure.
